Jewish Teenager Attacked by Anti-Semitic Classmates

From the Jewish Journal:

The beating of a 13-year-old Jewish girl in Brussels has Belgium’s Jewish umbrella group contemplating civil action.

Oceane Sluijzer, 13, was beaten by five Moroccan female classmates after a confrontation at a sports center last week, the European Jewish Press reported.

The attackers also shouted, “Shut up, you dirty Jew, and return to your country” at Sluijzer, who has filed a formal complaint with the Brussels police.

Had it been in Sweden, there would be a bunch on politicians saying it’s unfortunate but must be considered legit criticism of Israeli politics. In fact, this is precisely what Malmö Mayor Ilmar Reepalu said when asked about widespread bullying of Jewish children in his city’s schools. I hope the Brussels politicians take it more seriously.
